What is freshprince is the english version of Curbo? Except younger and less literate?

The thing is with Curbo though is that he was actually able to back up his claims of being a great player and does participate in the offline scene whereas freshprince.. well he just talks bullshit online, yet never shows his face to casuals/tourneys despite having ample opportunities to.

He's probably the English version of this dude talked about on this thread - http://testyourmight.com/threads/the-real-best-online-warrior.17178/page-2#post-375673

no. Your Raiden loses against most of the cast...including 2-8 vs Sheeva. Real Raiden loses to Sonya and Kabal. Yep knw dat!

...What? Raiden is seriously one of the few characters I can think of who's actually 5-5 with Kabal, he's a great pick for that matchup.

I remember you mentioning this but I don't see how Raiden himself can intiate anything against Kabal. Plus Raiden has a pretty big hitbox which opens up Kabal's NDC options. I believe saw blade auto-corrects. Just little things like that which for me puts it advantage Kabal. It isn't unwinnable by any stretch. I dunno tbh, Sonya is much more of a clear-cut disadvantage match than Kabal.

What's your take?

The teleport is a great answer to NDC, actually. The underlying reason Raiden is 5-5 with Kabal is that he limits all of Kabal's options. If Kabal tries to zone, Raiden gets in for free, and if he gets too happy with the NDC cancels, Raiden can just teleport out. The underlying reason it's an even matchup is because Raiden makes Kabal human again.

Also, people seriously overexaggerate the implications of having a big hitbox. Like, Raiden still has no problem ducking most attacks that the majority of the cast can. The only time Raiden's hitbox causes him problems is on crossup, and you can just reverse input EX shocker for the same sort of option select as Ermac's EX lift or Kenshi's EX charge. Having a big hitbox really isn't that big of a deal, unless you're Sheeva or (to an extent) Freddy. I just look at it this way: If having a big hitbox was a death sentence, Kenshi wouldn't be almost unanimously considered top five.

You make great points there. What can Raiden do though? Surely he has to try be more aggressive in this match than he usually would no? What can he do once he's in?

Also just checked out REO's Kabal chart and he has it at 6-4. I'm curious to know why that is as well.
